    ipdb.notes
    The owner of the game pictured here states the game was purchased in Scottsdale, Arizona from the daughter of the manufacturer. He adds that this was made in the 1930's for local gin mills and speakeasies in the Detroit area and that it is one of about forty that Mr. Allen had made. The coin slide has no patent numbers or dates. No name of game is found anywhere on or in the game. Only one ball was with this game when located, but the playfield design suggests several balls were originally intended per play.
